    Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth is forced over General MIDI devices [S3&K COLLECTION]


    Hello, I've been trying to get Sonic & Knuckles Collection to play over General MIDI devices. I expected GM to be default, but I was wrong. It would play through CoolSoft's VirtualMIDISynth, but not GM. I closed CSVMS then re-opened Sonic & Knuckles Collection, booted up Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and it surprisingly RE-OPENED CSVMS. Yes, I typed that right, an application from 1995 opened an application from around 2016. I uninstalled CSVMS, and it played through Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. I even uninstalled the Wavetable Synth, but it still played through it, somehow... To my knowledge there's no config menu to change the MIDI device. If anyone has a solution, please let me know.


    *Note:

    Yes, I checked the drivers for the GM device, they're up-to-date.




    -Thank you in advance,

    DaKota

    Hello? I can't find Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth from midi port list.

    Therefore, I only use MIDI Yoke port to play midi.

    How can I restore Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth?

    Attempts to open MIDI Mapper or GS Wavetable Synth fail in Windows 10

    In executing my Music composition program in Windows 10, the program indicates that NO MIDI output device is assigned. OK. I will assign one. I am offered either of two choices, both worked in my Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit system. These are: MIDI Mapper or Microsoft
    GS Wavetable Synth. In either case I get the following error:

    Error 1003003 opening: MIDI Mapper.

    OR

    Error 1003003 opening: Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth.

    MIDI Output Device: Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth - not found.

    Oddly enough, after selecting either, getting the error message yet continuing, the program works just fine. Sound is produced!

    Unfortunately, I still have to go through the same process of selecting the MIDI Output device every time I execute the program.

    This is very annoying (and I consider it a Windows 10 "bug", particularly since in Windows 8.1 the program worked perfectly). Suggestions? Comments? Solutions? Please! (FYI: Program is Jammer 6 Pro. I plan to try Band-In-the-Box next.).
